Also, I added a link to the image.
Ok, I've had my laughs, I added the actual link now
I added her backstory. Also wrote some terrible music in an attempt to sweeten the deal.
Are signatures staying the same or can I make a new one.

My new signature is a flip card. Throughout the rest of the tournament, I plan on showing more of Pele's backstory and create a more developed character. The front of the card shows the way she got her power with the back showing her power influenced by the shadow magic.
@PJbear2005 how does that work?
What do you mean? You cast it in it's front form, than it goes to the graveyard and you cast it from either exile or the graveyard. The back side has some downsides to combat the good effects.
I didn't want to do that because I wanted it to be like the aftermath cards from Amonkhet but I thought the sun and moon for the transform cards would work with the theme of fire and darkness.
Ah, I see. I made it on mtg.design it has the same stuff as mtg cardsmith with some other borders so I use it occasionally
@pjbear2005 Candelon's Evershifting Spark//Candle's Darkened Flame gets pretty complicated, especially with the wording. A few notes:
-Torchbear should say (You may cast this spell as an Aura spell with enchant creature. If you do, sacrifice it when enchanted creature dies.)
-Candelon should say "When Candelon is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, transform it."
-Spending 3 mana for a 2/2 haste or a +1/+1 and defiance is a pretty weak rate, even with the graveyard utility. I would make Candelon a little stronger. There are plenty of knobs you could use.
-Waxing should say (You may cast this spell from your graveyard. If you do, exile it as it resolves.) "Removed from the game" isn't a thing anymore, having been replaced with exile. Alternatively, remove waxing entirely, take away Candle's Darkened Flame's mana cost, and give it "flashback {1}{b}{r}" instead.
-Not only is Candle's Darkened Flame overly complex, it's also pretty weak. It hurts the caster almost as much as the target, making it a feel-bad spell. If you take my advice about waxing, you can nix the "can be cast from graveyard or exile" clause and the "if this was cast from a graveyard"/"if this was cast from exile" phrases. This would really ease the needless complexity. I would also either make a stronger effect or reduce the drawbacks to this spell to make you actually want to cast it.
I'm not trying to hate. I really love the concept of a creature that transforms into a sorcery upon death. I just want to see this design to its full potential. Happy 'smithing mate!

Here's her signature!
Already I can tell making an old witch trying to regain her youth will be much more interesting than making a stuck-up god with an unclear power level.
